HE SIGNED, HE SIGNED

In a major victory for crappy singers everywhere, American Idol misfit William Hung has officially signed a record deal with Fuse Music Network and Koch Records. The 21-year-old Hong Kong native's debut CD, featuring his signature tune "She Bangs" as well as a cover of Elton John's "Rocket Man," is due in stores on April 6. The disc will also include a 40-minute DVD with behind-the-scenes footage from his studio recording sessions and fan questions and answers. "He may not be the next American Idol," says Fuse president Marc Juris, "but he is definitely a star and inspiration to everyone who sings in the shower."
